' BAKERS OVEN.

specication oftetter's Patent. )patented NGV, 25, 1919,

Applicationled April 9, 1919. Serial No. 288,693..

To all 'whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, JOHN MOL'rAsorr, ya citizen 'of Austria, residing at Meriden, county of New Haven, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bakers Ovens, of which the following isa specification.

r This invention relates to bakers ovens and it has for an Object to vproduce a new and improved type of bakers Oven which can be used simultaneously in baking both bread and cake and without the bread and cake bakers interfering with one another.

A further object is to provide for the proper distribution of heat to the bread and cake ovens.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objectsk and advantages thereof, reference will Ibe had to the following description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features o f the invention are more particularly set forth. i f

Figure 1 of the drawings is a longitudinal sectional view partly in elevation of a bakers oven constructed according toV my invention. Y

Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line V2 2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a part end elevation andpart transverse vertical section on theline 3 3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 isa fragmentary longitudinal vertical section taken on'the line @1 -4 of Fig. 2,V and illustrating particularly the flues leading to the cake oven and the dampers controlling them.

My improved oven comprises the lire chamber l provided with the usual doors 2 at one end7 3 indicating the vgrate bars, 4 the ash pit, and 5the doors leading to the latter, the walls of the Oven being constructed inthe usual manner and indicated by the numeral 6. The walls may be formed with the usual heat'insulating spaces (not shown). Y

Above the fire chamber is located the bread Oven 10 having a door 11 at one end, this being preferably the end Opposite the fire doors 2. Y

The floor 12 of the bread oven preferably inclines upwardly toward the rear, as shown in Fig. 1, and is of arched shape in transverse section, as shown in Fig. 3, and may be madeof the usual material.

Above the bread oven 10 I provide cakeoven 15 having a door 16 at the end opposite to the door 1I. y Between the roof 17 of the bread oven and the floor 18 of the cake oven is a space 19V to receive the hot gases from the lire chamber to heat "the oven. Y

-The licor of the cake oven may incline upwardly from thev door 16, this inclination of course being opposite to that of thel floor the l2 while the saine arched formation inv f transverse section is provided. rIhe roofQO of the cake oven forms the roof ofthe oven. To enable the cake baker to easily reach the door 16 of thecake oven Va raisedplatform A21 maybe provided-at this end of the oven upon which the cake baker may work, while a depression 22 may be provided in the `floor under the platform to permit of convenient access lto thevdoors 2 and 5 which lead to the yfire chamber and ash pit.V

To heat the cake oven a series of passages or fines are provided which lead from the fire chambers to the space 19. I prefer to providefour of these flueswhich extend verticallyvup through the wallsV one in each corner of the oven, flues at oneend being numbered 25 and those at the other end being numbered 26,A the flues 26' being adjacent the usual chimney flues 27 as shown.

4lis indicatedmostrclearly in Fig.- 3 these vflues haveA horizontal'offsets, 28 and29 respectively, at their upper vand lower ends which open into the space 19 and the lire chamber 1. Y

In order to enable the heat to the cake oven to be properly regulated, I provide a damper mechanismby which these flues can be cut off from the space 19 and opened to the chimney flues 27., As here shown this vdamper mechanism comprises a pair of rods 30 which extend slidably through the side walls'of the oven from end to end of the Vlatter and have Vtheir projecting ends pro- I and 26, the damper in the iiue 25 comprising thehorizontal member 33 and vertical meniber 33', and .the damper in the flue 2.6 com? prising the horizontal member 34 and theV vertical member 34. v.

Connecting'the iues'25 and 26 at a point below the dampers are passages 35, Vwhile the fiues 26 are connected with the chimney Vflues 27 and by passages 36 whichV are in juxtaposition tothe damper members 34' as shown adaptedrto close the latter.: These' passages receive the damper members 34 when the dampers are moved to-'openr the flues 25 and 26 as will be apparent. Re-

45' i j ing within the scope of the appended claims.

cesses 37 "may be formed inthe oven wallad: jacent the damper members 33 to receive the 1355er When jChey dampers aremoved to Open the ues 25 and 26. ,f

,"In the position shown in Fig. 4 the fines are closedby the horizontal damper 'members'33 and 34 while communication to the Y chimney flues is open. It will be apparent that when Ythe rods 30 are pulled to the right the fines and 26 will be open while the vertical dampermembers 34 will close the entrance to the passages 35 and 36.

If desired I may reverse the position of the damper in the flue 26 so as to cause a liow of the hot gases up fine 25 along space A19 and through the passage 36 to thechiiniieyvflue 27.v A ,f

As will be v apparent I'have provided a bakers oven in which bread baking and cake baking may be simultaneously carried on without inconvenience, the necessity for night shifts, or alternatingshifts, being thus avoided, and in'which-the proper regulation of heat for the cake oven may be edected independently of the usual heat regulating means with which the oven may be provided as desired. v i Y It lwill be apparent lthatvarious changes and modification might be made yin the con- Y struotionhere set forth and the right is reservedtoallchanges and modifications comsignature. E

said bread'oven, thewalls of the oven being provided with chimney flues from the fire chamber and with ovenfluesyleading from the' fire chamber tothe space below the cake oven,; and a unitary damper mechanism whereby the oven fines may be opened to communication either with the'said space V' or the said chimney iiues.

2414 bakers oven comprising a iire chamber,v a bread,l oven above said fire ego chamber, a cake oven above ands'paced from A Vsaid bread oven, the walls of the oven being providedfwith; thechimney flues from the fire VChamberland with oven hues leadingV from the fire chamber to the space below the cake oven,` and a unitary'damper mechanism 'whereby the, oven flues may be opened to communication either with the said space or the said chimney iiues, said mechanism including a slidable rod, and an angular damper carried thereby. f Y Y 3. A bakers oven comprising a lire chamber a bread oven above said fire chamber, a lcake oven above and spaced from said bread oven, a pair 'of oven iues at both the front and chamber tothe space below the cake oven,
